Macomb Reservation State Park

"Labor Day weekend was my first time at this campground and i was not impressed. There was no grass anywhere, everything was dirt. Mostly all the campgrounds i have been to have grass. If you wanted to go swimming you had to drive down to the water that has leeches in it. The bathrooms and showers were not close to the site i was on. I had to drive to use the facilities. Definatley not handicapped accessible either!"

"Great beginner campground. This campground had the best facilities by far compared to any other DEC campground. The bathrooms were very clean and modern. There were no bugs and the showers were separated in a different room from the toilets. I didn’t use them, but it appears there are several recreational activities to choose from. The staff were also kind and helpful. The only downside is that this campground does not offer much privacy as many of the other DEC campgrounds do. The majority of the sites are close in proximity to each other with little to no trees or bushes to separate them."

"Nice campground. Stayed at site 307 and had plenty of room between campsites. Site had no electricity. The sites with electric seemed to be closer together. Doesn’t seem like they enforce the generator hours. On e camper had their generator going until 11:30pm."

"Very nice campground, quiet and large sites, especially above 300, it's great considering the tall pine trees causing a lack of privacy but the place wasn't crowded so it was peaceful. Restrooms are super clean, VERY hot water in showers. My only complain is about generators which are allowed in certain periods during the day. We were a lot of tent campers in our area with only one guy in the middle with a RV with his generator working 2 hours in the morning and during diner time. Very annoying and it smelled gas everywhere because of the wind coming from the pond"

"We stayed at site 35 for three days, on a Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We like to arrive to camp when the weekend crowds are leaving, because mid week most of these State Parks are fairly empty and quiet. We had the entire peninsula to ourselves, so it was idyllic. (sites 26-35 are considered the peninsula, and all are right on the water). Fishing is as easy as 15 steps from your tent/trailer down to waters edge, but the slope at sites 33, 34, and 35 are steep, 35 being the steepest. You could launch canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards right at your site, but the bottom is soft and a little mucky, so bring water shoes. Watch for snapping turtles, muscles, leaches, and blue/green algae blooms. The bathroom at the end of this loop were very clean! The staff were pleasant and sociable. The park was, "kinda", clean...ish. Sorta. No toilet paper blooms like you find along trails in the ADKs, but cig butts, bottle caps, and melted/burned trash in the fire pits. We always spend 15 or 20 minutes when we get to a site policing it up and scooping the fire pit, but you have to expect that when camping in a campground. Site 35, contrary to what the Reserve America map shows, is the last site right ON the water, with a wooded hill next to it. It isn't level, so plan to use leveling legs or putting one tire on a block. We have a tiny, lightweight Aspen Classic motorcycle popup tent camper, so it was easy for us. Bigger trailers might want to opted for sites 24-33 or so, as they are more level. It was peaceful, quiet, and money well spent."
